[reading from a card given to him by Alex]
"Alex is more than a son. He's a companion, a friend, whom I can spend many long hours with discussing the economy, world events and politics." Alex, if I read this out loud, I'm afraid I'll be struck by lightning.

[Alex nods towards Elyse]

Mom, please read the "Alex is more than a son" speech, if dad refuses.
